If you had to get 100% of your nutrition from one food, you'd choose that food very carefully.
When we buy food for our family today, we are much more conscious than ever before how our diets are related to good health. Not only are we conscious of the ingredients in the foods we eat, and the freshness of those ingredients, we also know that the way our meals are prepared play a very important role in how it affects our health. Now, when you buy food for your puppy, are you basing your buying decisions on the same guidelines? If you are really concerned about your puppy's health, you certainly should be.
Look at these four major guidelines as they relate to your puppy's diet:
- Ingredients:
Because puppies are carnivorous, the protein in their diets must come from meat, not soybean, not rice gluten, not corn gluten, or other grain products.- Freshness:
The meat ingredients must be absolutely fresh before processing. Once meat or any other ingredient has begun to lose freshness, there is nothing that can be done to regain that lost food value.- Processing:
Just like the meat we prepare at home, the temperatures used in processing have direct impact on the nutritional value of proteins and other essential nutrients.- No Added Fat:
Because of the unique processing method used at Bil-Jac it is unnecessary to add rendered fat or processed vegetable oils to Bil-Jac Puppy Food. Sufficient levels of fat occur naturally in the fresh meats selected by Bil-Jac.
Bil-Jac is the only dog food manufacturer who guarantees that these guidelines are followed in the preparation of your puppy's diet.
The standard by which others are measured.
Bil-Jac Dog Foods have become the standard by which all other dog foods are measured. Bil-Jac's unique formulation and processing method insures exceptional food value.
More fresh meat ingredients than any other brand.
Unlike other dog foods where the primary protein source is in dry meal form, Bil-Jac controls its primary protein from its initial fresh meat source. Bil-Jac uses more fresh meat ingredients in its dry dog food than any other brand.
The only brand using vacuum processing to protect nutrients.
To protect all the essential nutrients in these fresh ingredients, Bil-Jac is the only dog food that uses a vacuum processing method to protect these quality nutrients during manufacturing.
Meat ingredients, vacuum processing, freshness, and no added fat--four reasons why Bil-Jac is the best you can feed your dog.
Feeding Recommendations
Bil-Jac recommends a scheduled and portion-controlled method of feeding Bil-Jac Puppy Food. For young puppies weaning, 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 weeks old, moisten Bil-Jac with warm water. After weaning, until your puppy is five to six months old, divide the daily feeding recommendation into three meals per day. After six months until your puppy reaches maturity, divide the daily feeding recommendation into two meals per day. Fresh water should be kept available at all times.
Remember that while the daily feeding chart can serve as a guide, only you can accurately make the final decision. May factors influence the nutritional needs of your puppy, including breed, age, activity, and environment. If you have questions, please call 1-800-321-1002 for additional guidance to insure your puppy's good health and optimal growth.
